[cool][blue][size 1]Here in Arizona, we learn to fish by different rules. In the months when you guys in the north are out there lovin' it, we have to be off the water by 9 AM or suffer from heatstroke. The fish respond to the heat and added boating traffic in the summer months by going deep and sulking during the day. [/size][/blue]
[blue][size 1]The only time to score from mid June to the first of October in the hotter parts of Arizona is after dark. But, if you know how to work plastics...vertical jigging, Carolina rigging, dropshotting...you can have some awesome nights.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]The best times for endurable weather and good action are starting in late February, when the bass stage for spawning in this area, and extending to the end of May, when daytime temps are going over a hundred every day. Then, again in the fall, from about mid October to after the first of December, depending on weather and temps.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]But, as my favorite saying goes..."Fishing is always good, even if the catchin' ain't".[/size][/#0000ff]
